📌 Decisions delayed are opportunities lost...

In leadership, hesitation is costly. The most successful strategists don't wait for certainty; they move with conviction before the market shifts.

Every delayed decision is a door left open for someone else to step through. Opportunities don't wait; they favor those who act.

🔥 The future belongs to those who decide it first.

Executive Decision (1996)

I picked up Executive Decision solely because the title amused me. I was expecting junk but it proved to be a pleasant surprise. There are plenty of twists and tension throughout to keep you entertained.

When a Boeing 747-200 is hijacked by terrorists, Dr. David Grant (Kurt Russell) believes they are after more than just their leader's freedom. He suspects the plane will be used to unleash a deadly chemical agent when the hostages are released. He, along with a special ops team (which includes John Leguizamo, Joe Morton, BD Wong, Whip Hubley, and their leader, Steven Seagal) plan on sneaking aboard the Boeing before they make it into U.S. Airspace. Then, things go terribly wrong.

Bad guys take over a plane. Our hero and his entourage have to sneak around and take out the threat while the hostages are threatened. Outmanned and outgunned, the risks are high. This plot isn’t all that original. Stuart Baird nonetheless gives us enough new material to make it feel like its own thing. Firstly, it's a great setup. One wrong move and our heroes give away their position or get themselves killed. They only have a limited amount of time before the plane gets shot down by U.S. Navy Fighter Jets and then there’s that deadly chemical onboard. All on a plane. That means explosive decompression, running out of fuel, storms/turbulence, and your life in the hands of two pilots who have guns pointed to their backs. Your nerves are bent to the point of breakage.

There are also some nice touches added to give you that little bit of extra. Halle Berry plays a helpful stewardess. Her character is a lot of fun. Think our heroes are underdogs? She doesn’t have any weapons to defend herself with.

I've got to credit writers Jim and John Thomas for keeping the twists coming and making the most of this setup. When you think it’s over, it isn't. Not even close. I also have to tip my hat to a choice made with Steven Seagal’s character that blew me away. He's known for his ego so this was an unexpected turn. I was convinced that I was mistaken when I had just seen it with my own two eyes! Actually, this film makes great use out of all of its characters. Even Oliver Platt, who I had pegged as just comic relief, plays a much more important role.

All that said, 133 minutes is excessive. Just a bit, not a huge deal. The familiar story is also noteworthy, but not a sinking blow. I did feel uneasy about the choice of villains here though. I wish the baddies here were anything other than Middle-Eastern terrorists, particularly with David Suchet as their leader, and the multiple references to the Quran… it’s just a bit too much. You might let that one go as well but one thing's for sure: the love story tacked on at the end? Completely unnecessary.

Executive Decision contains big surprises, plenty of scenes to make your palms all clammy, and makes imaginative use of its location. It needed some trimming but that’s ok, few movies could be called perfect. I’ll give it a 3.5/5. Check it out. (Full-screen version on VHS, October 12, 2015)

NEW ARTICLE - DOD Accidentally Release Social Security Numbers for Executive Decision Stars - The Department of Defense’s entertainment liaison office file on the 1996 thriller Executive Decision was, for many years, secreted in a private archive in a library in Georgetown. Now liberated by Matt Alford, one page of the file details the stars who needed to be filmed on-board military aircraft, including their social security numbers. Names and numbers include BD Wong, John Leguizamo, Steven Seagal and Kurt Russell. #DOD #hollywood #privacy #socialsecurity #kurtrussell #stevenseagal #bdwong #executivedecision https://www.instagram.com/p/BteDDbVg8tp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f7drkxjut6vb

Decal test on a blank Hogan Wings Boeing 747-200. Customising models is trial-and-error indeed. Wrong sized prints, overlapping decals, too much clear coat, among others. Will replace it later with much more accurate decals. #OceanicAirlines #ExecutiveDecision #Boeing747 #Hogan #aviation #avgeek https://www.instagram.com/p/BnORuFlAsdj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1efgsoc4quhin
